African Champions' Cup

Tournament for champions of the CAF nations. The away goals rule was
introduced in the 1974 competition, and a Champions' League format in
1997. In 2004 the Champions League format was changed so that the
top-12 countries (at the time, Algeria, Angola, Cameroon, DR Congo, Egypt,
Ghana, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia,
according to a simple ranking system) can
enter a second team.

The original trophy, the Osagyefo Cup donated by Dr Kwame Nkrumah, was kept by Hafia of
Guinea which had become the first team to win it for a third time in 1977.
It was replaced with the Ahmed Sékou Touré trophy, which in turn was kept by Zamalek of Egypt
in 1993. The next trophy was donated by CAF itself, and was kept by Al-Ahly of Egypt in
2006.
